Whilestudents that participate in research labs get through with less difficulty, there can be instanceswhere students enter with both academic and personal issues. In this paper, I will specificallyhighlight one of my

These considerations can be challenging to track for each individualstory, which led to the genesis of this project. III. Methodology: The RRCD Framework The purpose of this project is to design a framework to allow an engineering instructor toquickly and easily integrate a piece of science fiction into their classroom for the purposes ofethical analysis. To accomplish this, we designed the RRCD framework. To begin with, RRCDstands for four question types: Recall, Reflect, Challenge, and Decide. When these questiontypes are answered as a sequence in relation to a piece of science fiction content, they aredesigned to encourage

training in a specifictool area, participants are assessed using the corresponding rubric. This enables trainers andadministrators to gauge the level of competency of each participant and identify areas ofimprovement. The structure of the training program varied for each community, reflecting thefacilitator's approach and the specific equipment utilized. For example, the textiles communityfollowed a highly structured format with three weeks of co-learning sessions organized aroundshort practice projects, followed by three weeks dedicated to open-ended individual projects. Thewoodshop community took a more unstructured approach, providing “just-in-time” trainingwhile diving into open-ended individual projects from the first week

to understand what this process may entail.According to some graduate education scholars, there are four core elements related to graduatestudents' development of an identity congruent with the norms and values of their field:knowledge acquisition, investment, involvement, and engagement (Weidman, 2006). Knowledgeacquisition describes how students learn skills and information that will help them perform wellin their new role as a Ph.D. student, as well as gain an understanding of what academic successentails. Through knowledge acquisition, students become aware of normative expectations of thePh.D. student role and can make a realistic assessment of their personal ability to pursue theirdesired career. The student's investment reflects their

Through qualitative analysis of these cases, wewill address the question: In what ways do Black students who are first- or second-generationimmigrants from Africa and have studied abroad leverage community cultural wealth inengineering in the US?We use Yosso’s Community Cultural Wealth (CCW) framework to highlight the strengths thesestudents leverage in engineering. CCW is an asset-based framework developed to highlight thestrengths of the students from Communities of Color. There are six assets used as a guiding lensto inform research in these communities: familial, social, aspirational, navigational, resistance,and linguistic capital that students

. Then, theyimplement these strategies. Finally, the problem solver reflects on their performance [1] [2]. Forill-structured problems where the solution path is not immediately obvious, the systematicapproach of self-regulated learning can help students navigate the possible difficulties and deadends. If a solution method does not work out, the problem solver can reflect on this and try adifferent approach.The Model of Domain Learning is another conceptual framework that can be applied to problemsolving. The goal is to understand how novices build expertise and become experts [3] [4]. Inthis framework, the learner progress through three stages. In the first stage, Acclimation, thelearner has little knowledge of a field, and the knowledge is

interest, and this discrepancy isfurther reflected during the college application process. This mismatch cultivates a system ofexclusion for minoritized students: students are led to think they can succeed during outreach,only to be told they are not allowed in during recruitment.Holloway et al. [44] listed 11 major factors used to admit or deny students during the collegeapplication review process by IHEs in the years 2006-2010: (1) “subject matter expectations (thenumber of semesters of math, science, English, social studies, and foreign language that eachstudent is required to have taken in high school), (2) overall high school grade point average(GPA) (3) core high school GPA (English, math, science, foreign language, and social studiesclasses

Thirteen percent of the open responses said that clubs had no impact on theiranswers, while 60% said that clubs improved their score. No response indicated a lower scorebecause of clubs. 4. DISCUSSIONResidual TimeThis data set follows the residual time assessment conducted by Olewnik & Kashyap [1]. Themedian residual time for participants is between 10 and 30 hours per week, which appears tocenter around the average of 19.5 hours measured [1].

anonymous surveys are used in this study to judge the impact ofGrOW. The surveys contain both self-reflection questions and quantitative questions to evaluate“success”. The self-reflection questions judge adjustment to graduate school and feelings ofbelonging and self-worth using a 5-point Likert scale. The quantitative questions gather metricssuch as GPA, number of publications, and fellowships earned. The surveys are attached in theappendix for reference.Survey 1 was distributed in August 2022, after the first event of the GrOW program. Twenty-threeattendees participated in the survey.

individual’sconnections with others and the level of support they receive from their classmates andcolleagues can be quantified through social capital [15]. In this study, social capital is defined asthe number of friends a student indicated they work with academically—in other words, thenumber of friends a student also uses as an academic resource.The clustering coefficient is a measure of network density, reflecting the interconnectedness ofan individual’s egonet. Figure 2 shows two different students’ social networks. The left socialnetwork has a clustering coefficient of 0.14. This is a low clustering coefficient which indicatesthat the ego’s network of friends are mostly not friends with each other. Each node is connectedto the ego, but there are only a few
